I didn’t know about this and thought it interesting. Figured some others might as well.

      SSH, OpenSSL, LibreSSL, pf …

      There’s not a single web server without some code from them. Every single phone, every Linux machine, and probably even Windows (citation needed) ships with some of these tools.

      And you didn’t hear a thing, because the OpenBSD guys just sport a smug smile and don’t care about our plebian fame.

      The OpenBSD project maintains portable versions of many subsystems as packages for other operating systems. Because of the project’s preferred BSD license, which allows binary redistributions without the source code, many components are reused in proprietary and corporate-sponsored software projects. The firewall code in Apple’s macOS is based on OpenBSD’s PF firewall code,[6] Android’s Bionic C standard library is based on OpenBSD code,[7] LLVM uses OpenBSD’s regular expression library,[8] and Windows 10 uses OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) with LibreSSL.[9]
